Jingle all the Way

It's Christmas time at my house.


Do any of you ever participate in the give-aways that people post on their blogs? I do. I mean, someone has to win, why not me, right? I'm pretty good at entering contests...not so much at winning. But today my luck changed.


When I turned on my computer this morning, I had an e-mail from JOY telling me that I was the winner in the give-away she posted on her blog. What a good way to start the day. When I contacted Karli (who was actually doing the give-away), we found out that she lived less than a mile from me.


So an hour later, a cute gal showed up at my house with these beauties:



My photo doesn't do them justice. At all. The fabrics and trims are exquisite and her work is impeccable. And they are much larger than they look (it will take a lot of treats to fill these cuties). Check out more of her beautiful work at her etsy shop.

Thanks Karli! You made my day. These will look fabulous in my house this Christmas.

HAHA! When I saw that giveaway, I thought I hope mom enters...those stockings will look perfect in her house. I meant to tell you to look at that blog and enter it. You were on top of it...thank goodness. I can't believe you won! And that she lives so close.

CONGRATS!!

It is crazy how these stockings are meant for your house... like really JUST for YOU!

It was so fun to meet you - I'm always up for making new friends :)

Thanks for sending some love and passing the word along. Can't wait to see all these stockings start "flying" off the shelf :)

Wow, those are really pretty! I am always looking for new stockings. I want pretty ones, but I do not want to pay an arm and a leg for them. I refuse.

Congrats on your win!
